Is it safe to come out yet??


TGIF!!
Whew, it has been a rough week between watching the war unfold, recovering, and this nasty bug that seemed like it would never go away. Today, I am finally beginning to feel better. On Wednesday I got tired of being sick and decided to get up and plant a few seeds, pick up some stuff around the yard, and prune some plants. I most likely over did it because Thursday I felt horrible, but I must admit it was really nice to be out in the warm weather.

Hoorah Spring!

*Achoo* *Sniff* *Grumble* As you can see I have a nasty cold! Not the best timing, need I mention how it feels to cough when you had abdominal surgery less than a week ago? Bah I say! Well, on the plus side I have been getting some knitting done.Yesterday I finished the beary luxurious chenille scarf (picture link added on the left). I made this mostly for the knit and purl practice and to see what it was like working with chenille before trying something more ambitious. It was slow going and I had to untwist the yarn every few rows. = (

The good news is that it is almost time to start on a new project! I haven't decided exactly what it will be yet, but it is fun looking through books and magazines trying to decide.

The kitty catnip wonton was a big hit!

Just sitting here watching the academy awards and finishing knitting the feline dim sum. Above is a picture of the yarn I am doing it in. What can I say about it? It's bright, it's acrylic, it's hideous, it's Red Heart. I honestly have no idea what in the World my grandmother was planning to make with it. I inherited the stash so I can't ask. However, despite the brightness of the colors I have actually enjoyed seeing them blend together, as someone who has so far chosen mostly solid colors for her knitting, it has been a fun and different change. It will make a nice cat toy and my little Tortie Aphrodite will really enjoy tearing it to shreds. I will not feel too bad about it either. In fact I have several more skeins of this precious yarn from which to make her a new toy every month for the next couple of years!
